Table 1.
Measurements of crimp morphology for all positions tested compared with controls. ‘Not available’ (N/A) is denoted where the crimp was diminished, intermediate or minimal, such that the parameters were not measurable. Length measurements unit: μm
| Base length (averaged value with error, from 20 measurements) |
Calculated side length (assume constant crimp angles) |
